for anyone wishing to understand the background of Kant's views on the French
Revolution.
- Metzger, Äußerungen über Kant, pp. I4f. (Malter, Kantin Rede und Gespräch, p. 351);
compare Borowski, Leben, p. 77; he also noted that Kant spoke his mind without
concern about the rank or status of those to whom he was speaking.

- Anonymous; see Maker, Kant in Rede und Gespräch, pp. 35if.
- Jachmann, Kant, p. 179 (Maker, Kant in Rede und Gespräch, pp. 340/.). Jachmann
was interested in downplaying Kant's enthusiasm for the French Revolution, which
is otherwise very well documented.

- Voigt, Kraus, p. 311; see also p. 408; Kraus could not have thought very highly of
Schulz as a mathematician (see Voigt, Kraus, p. 398).
- Ak 10, p. 490 (June 25, 1787). The book was already listed in the catalogue of the
Leipzig book fair of 1787 under the same title (see Ak 10, p. 488).

- For some of the background, see Kant's notes to Eberhard's Vorbereitung zur natür¬
lichen Theologie, dated by Adickes to the period 1783-86, Ak 18, pp. 489-606, es¬
pecially pp. 566f. Zammito's identification of the different layers of Kant's third
Critique remains nothing but conjecture. Of course, Kant had had the three con¬
cerns Zammito identifies, but they were concerns that he had at least since the
inception of the critical problem. Though Zammito is right in identifying three
different and apparently quite unrelated concerns within the text of the third Cri¬
tique, it is a mistake to think that these three concerns can be relegated to different
stages in Kant's development.
- For a systematic discussion of the issues, see Paul Guyer, Kant and the Claims of
Taste (Harvard: Harvard University Press, 1979).
- Ak 5, p. 236. All translations should be considered as my own. Even though I have
heavily leaned on Meredith's translation, there are many significant departures from
it. See Immanuel Kant, Critique of Judgment, tr. J. C. Meredith (Oxford: Claren¬
don Press, 1952). Since this edition gives the page numbers of the Academy edition
in the margin, the references can easily be verified.
